Corporate Identity, Architectural Graphics and Communication

Founded in 1979, the GMP Group celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2019. Estrada Design, the author of its corporate identity, designed its commemorative logo for the occasion.

The rational, simple and direct symbol designed by Estrada Design many years ago for the Group is comprised of three small vertical bars. They represent a gentle upward movement that encapsulates the idea of construction and growth. In the logo for its 40th anniversary, the symbol is transformed into a figure, thus evoking the path travelled by a company that has become one of the leading real estate groups in Spain.

Bibliometro

Bibliometro

Brand Identity and Wayfinding

Bibliometro is a programme run by the City Council of Madrid that consists in taking libraries to readers. For this purpose, new spaces were installed at the metro stations in Madrid that have the highest number of interchanges–Moncloa, Nuevos Ministerios, Príncipe Pío and Legazpi–, so that, on their way, the users of this method of transport would come across an advertising ploy that acts almost like a powerful magnet. In the very short time it has been in operation, thousands of library cards have been issued.

The corporate identity created by Estrada Design for Bibliometro comprises a comprehensive visual system, a logo, an identity programme and a signage and communication plan, ranging from the spine labels for covering the books to the posters pointing to the book kiosks. The studio also designed the graphics used in the kiosks themselves, an undulating structure shaped like the tilde on the letter ñ, designed by the Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos architecture studio.

Zaragoza Pavilion

Spanish Pavilion
at Expo Zaragoza 2008
Brand identity, signage, architectural graphics,
corporate publications
Estrada Design is the mastermind behind the image and identity of the Spanish Pavilion at the International Exhibition of Zaragoza 2008, designed by Patxi Mangado. The studio also created its brand, architectural graphics and signage by deploying a large mural installation showing, via LED lighting, the word Agua (‘water’ in English) written in 78 different scripts representing almost 140 languages from around the world. The letters were used to create movements and typeface animations that simulated a variety of water-related visual elements.
The pavilion is structured around open ceramic pillars which, in the brand, are transformed into 2D, like a barcode of changing colours. In the same way, the graphics used in the restaurant and the store are based on this barcode script and are adapted specifically to each space. This identity system has been used throughout virtually the entire Pavilion, signalling exits, merchandising, information panels, etc.
